Mudzvova said the Toyota single cab had frequented his home for the past four days. He has reported the matter to the police in his neighbourhood, but claimed the police said they were unable to open a docket on the matter.
He yesterday took the matter to Harare Central Police Station.
“Knowing how things are in Zimbabwe, I am now living in fear that something might happen either to me or my family,” Mudzvova told the NewsDay.
Mudzvova was recently arrested outside Parliament Building, as he was staging a one-man play titled Missing Diamonds, I Need My Share, which he said was inspired by disclosures made by President Robert Mugabe that the country had lost $15 billion from diamond revenue.
The award-winning actor said as someone who fights for human rights through art, he was worried with the latest development describing it as a difficult time for him and his family.

On March 9 last year, journalist-cum-activist Itai Dzamara went missing for staging solo demonstrations against Mugabe’s rule under what later became known as Occupy Africa Unity Square. Despite ratcheting up pressure on Mugabe’s government by local and international organisations, Dzamara’s whereabouts remain unknown.
Mudzvova yesterday said he feared ending up facing the same fate as Dzamara.
He took to social media platform, Facebook and wrote: “Colleagues and friends just to let you know, this vehicle with number plate ABI 6568 a d4d single cab without back number plate has been coming to my house every morning.
“So today (yesterday) with the assistance of a brave neighbour we managed to take a photo of the number plate. I tried making a report at the nearest police station, but the officers could not open a report for me. So am left with no option except to let you know of my situation.”
The picture of the vehicle Mudzvova claims is frequenting his home has since attracted several comments after he posted it on Facebook.
